In this embodiment, a 4 inch substrate super-aligned carbon nanotube array is used, and the nano tube film can be viewed from 1 cm to 10 cm. It can be understood that the plurality of carbon nanotube films obtained above can be stacked at a predetermined angle to form a multi-layered nano-tube film junction, and the solvent can be treated by the solvent in a step-by-step manner. The film forms a microporous film structure. Since the nano-amplifier in the super-sequential carbon nanotube array provided in the first step of the embodiment is very pure, and since the specific surface area of the carbon nanotube itself is very large, the carbon nanotube film itself has a relatively high Strong dryness. The multi-layered carbon nanotube film is closely connected by van der Waals force to form a stable multi-layered carbon nanotube film structure. The angle of the cymbal can be determined to be the same angle or a different angle. The number of layers of the carbon nanotube film structure is not limited. , can be &gt; in an understanding of the system can be used to drip the organic solvent through the test tube to wet the surface of the carbon nanotube film to infiltrate the entire nano-tube film. Alternatively, the above-mentioned carbon nanotube film may be fixed by a fixing frame and then immersed in a container containing an organic solvent. The organic solvent is a volatile organic solvent such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, dichloroethane or chloroform, and ethanol is used in this embodiment. After the multilayered carbon nanotube film is infiltrated with an organic solvent, the parallel carbon nanotube segments in the carbon nanotube film partially aggregate into the carbon nanotube bundle under the surface tension of the volatile organic solvent. In addition, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are gathered into a bundle, so that the parallel carbon nanotube bundles in the carbon nanotube film are substantially spaced apart from each other, and the carbon nanotube bundles in the multilayer carbon nanotube film are The cross arrangement forms a microporous structure. These micropores are composed of carbon nanotubes arranged in series and overlapping each other, and a bundle of carbon nanotubes. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the microporous structure in the structure of the carbon nanotube film of the present embodiment is related to the number of layers of the carbon nanotube film. When the number of layers is larger, the pore size of the formed microporous structure is smaller. . For example, when the number of layers is four, the size distribution of the micropores ranges from a few nanometers to several hundred nanometers. These micropores can support nanoparticle, nanowires, nanorods, etc., for transmission electron microscopic observation and analysis. In addition, the embodiment can also utilize a portion of a plurality of layers of carbon nanotube film stacked to form a microporous film structure having an arbitrary width and length, and is not directly extracted from the carbon nanotube array by the above method of the embodiment. The width of the film is limited. Step 3: The carbon nanotube film structure obtained above is covered on a metal mesh used in a transmission electron microscope, and the organic solvent treatment is used to bond the microporous film structure and the metal mesh tightly. 12 200842105 The metal mesh material is copper or other metal material, and the pore size of the metal mesh is much larger than the micropore diameter of the carbon nanotube film. The organic solvent is a volatile organic solvent such as ethanol, decyl alcohol, acetone, dichloroethane or gas. The organic solvent can be directly dropped on the carbon nanotube film to make the microporous film structure and the metal mesh tightly combined. Step 4: After the organic solvent is volatilized, the excess microporous film is removed along the edge of the metal mesh to form a transmission electron microstrip. It can be understood that the preparation method of the TEM micro-gate structure of the embodiment can directly directly cover the extracted carbon nanotube film on the metal grid, and then cross the other or more carbon nanotube films in turn. The ground is covered with a carbon nanotube film. Then, the above carbon nanotube film is treated with an organic solvent to obtain a transmission electron microstrip structure. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the TEM micro-gate structure 20 is prepared according to the above method, and comprises a metal mesh 22 and a carbon nanotube film structure 24 covering the surface of the metal mesh 22. The carbon nanotube film structure 24 comprises a layer of carbon nanotube film or a microporous film structure in which a plurality of layers of carbon nanotube film are stacked at a predetermined angle. The pore diameter of the microporous film is related to the number of layers of the carbon nanotube film, and may be from 1 nm to 1 μm. Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a scanning electron micrograph of a multilayer carbon nanotube film used in a TEM micro-gate structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-layered carbon nanotube film is overlapped at a 90° angle to form a microporous film structure, and the carbon nanotubes in each layer of the carbon nanotube film are aligned, and the two carbon nanotube films are bonded by van der Waals force. The 13 200842105 * nano tube in the carbon nanotube film aggregates into a bundle, and the carbon nanotube bundle crosses in the carbon nanotube film to form a plurality of microporous structures, wherein the micropore diameter is 1 nm to 1 μm. In the application of the TEM micro-gate, the small-sized micropores can be used to support nano-sized particles, nanowires, nanorods, etc. for transmission electron microscopy observation and analysis. For a single nanoparticle having a size of less than 5 nm, the effect of the micropores is not too large, and the main function is the adsorption of the carbon nanotubes. These extremely small nanoparticles can be stably adsorbed on the naphthalene. The carbon tube wall • edge for easy viewing. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the black particles are the nano gold particles to be observed. The nano gold particles are stably adsorbed on the edge of the carbon nanotube wall, which is advantageous for observing the high resolution image of the nano gold particles. In addition, since the carbon tubes in the super-sequential carbon nanotube array for extracting the carbon nanotube film are high in purity, uniform in size, and have few wall defects. In the present embodiment, the transmission electron microscopy microgrid has little interference to the morphology and structural analysis of the sample to be observed, and has little influence on the high resolution image of the nanoparticle adsorbed thereon. The TEM micro-grid and the preparation method thereof are provided by the embodiment of the invention, which can continuously extract the carbon nanotube film from the super-aligned carbon nanotube array and cover the metal grid, and the method is simple and quick, and can be used for Micro-gates for transmission electron microscopy with stable properties are prepared in batches. At the same time, the use of the adsorption characteristics of the carbon nanotubes helps to observe the high-resolution image of the TEM of nanoparticles with a size of less than 5 nm. In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, 遂 14 200842105 'Proposed patent application according to law.
